They are the kind of people who believe in the science of history, that there is only one right way to run human society which is their way. That science is as infallible and inrefutable as the science of physics. You don't agree with them, you're on the wrong side of history.

And none of those 14% is the Lesser Fredo! As we know he confirmed that the media is not your friend - you could say - it's your enemy. And we are people. Therefore: The enemy of the people.

I mean, given that he is a professional liar and propagandist, he knows his shit.

Much of that 86% is stupid too. If you asked my dad he would say 'The media is biased'. He would then say 'Fox News is biased, that's why I watch CNN'.

Dunning Kruger effect!

sub-collector 10 points ago +11 / -1

It's the saddest, funniest, oddest thing ever to observe nowadays. My grandma, for instance, had only had something like 4 grades of education and knew the limitations of her knowledge and would never speak on subjects she'd not understand, and it seems that was the case with many more people of previous generations. Now dummies think they are literally smarter than einstein because they figured out how to find articles on Wikipedia and post links.

I've literally lived by that philosophy since I was a teen. If you don't understand something thoroughly don't talk about it with confidence. It's a simple yet effective way not to make a fool of yourself, and if the left embraced said philosophy the wold wouldn't be in this mess.

It's not just the left, it's just where humanity's evolution is taking us right now.

Access to information gives certain dimwits a confidence of possessing the intellect and necessary knowledge on subjects they have very little ability to understand, hence, the Dunning Kruger effect compounded by another phenomenon that is rooted in low cognitive function: inability to gauge own and others' intellectual and epistemic capabilities and hence misjudging greatly potentials of own or others.

But it's natural, it's just the growing pains of us as species. It'll be overcome lest we destroy ourselves in the process.

Carry_Your_Name 3 points ago +3 / -0

Former defense secretary Ramsfield put information into three categories: Known knowns, Known unknowns, and Unknown unkowns. The first one covers the things you are very familiar with, you have personal experience of them and you know every little detail; the second one mostly means things you know in name only. You've heard of them and read about them sometime, and you're probably impressed, but you were not there and you don't know what those things are really about, unless you dig in and learn more. Unknown unknowns are simply the things you don't know even exist, and you're very unlikely to find them by yourself unless some outside clue leads you to them. Apparently, your grandma knows the difference between known knowns and known unknowns, bless her, but those dummies don't. Whatever articles they find on the Internet are all known unknowns and will stay that way.

Thank you for the reminder of those genius remarks.

That’s was blows my mind with them - at least, I think, anyone who watches Fox or OAN or similar broadcasts realizes they are watching news through a conservative filter. The CNN etc crowds truly believe they are watching a unbiased product. I think it has to do with how self absorbed their world view is.

These people are half right because our entire mainstream media are all working together to kill America from within, like a cancer... even Fox News which functions as controlled opposition.

Dude, have some sympathy for the drunkards in the bars and the travellers at the airports. And a lot of exhausted guests in their hotel rooms. Some people could be all three in the same night. It's not their fault to be exposed to that trash. It's shoved up to their faces and blasting in their ears whether they like it or not.

They agree that the media is under attack, but 70% of Democrats who agree that the media is being attacked say that it is not warranted

70% of democrats are literally retarded. You don't have to like Trump, but if you can't see how badly the media is biased (Left and right) you're freakin blind, or just really dumb.

Fox News is unironically the closest thing to a balanced new channel there is. No that doesn't mean we should trust them or give them money but they are the only MSM channel with both republicans and democrats working for it. In a massive twist of irony, they have truly lived up to the "Fair and Balanced" slogan.

Grief 1 point ago +2 / -1

You must not have been watching Fox the last year. It has gone the way of CNN. They have people pushing the Trump hates the troops line. If you think they're fair and balanced I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you. Hell, they just picked Chris Wallace, one of their biggest Democrat shills, to moderate the first debate!

To be fair 30-35% of the country self-report that they actively avoid politics & current events. Only about 65% of the country ever intends to vote and the turnout is almost universally lower.

I talked to a sensible democrat buddy of mine and the convo was thus:

Me -"If there is one thing Trump is 100 percent right about, it's that the media is bullshit."

Him -"Can't argue with that."

Everyone knows it's all garbage, some people have yet to figure out it's propaganda.

Bias is easy to see. I'm not as concerned with bias as I am stories that are ignored or buried/hidden by the media. Like David Dorn and Cannon Hinnant. Successful HCQ studies. A dead toddler recovered at a school shooter training camp in Taos NM. Stories that warrant attention but are purposely ignored by the MSM.
